Brendon’s Answer

That depends on your schedule and your course work. Make sure you take regular breaks.

Chris’s Answer

Well, it depends on what your goals are. Is it to work part time and get As or Bs or enjoy your college experience? I agree that time management is very important. Stay organized and write your assignments down and begin working.

This is an ancillary consideration, but make sure your schedule is what you need it to be. For instance, I remember, I took a much harder math than I needed because in HS I enjoyed math, but I totally did not need it and yet it took up the vast majority of my homework time. Spend some time with your counselor to ensure you will graduate on time and what you need to do. Consider things like a minor or a double major or graduating early, etc.

Another consideration is whether are you working full time. If you are, then perhaps, it makes sense to allow yourself to get Bs instead of As. Focus on the easy things like if you get a % for doing homework or a % for participation, etc. Focus on the easy things and then become a good test taker. Also, I recommend meeting with the professor and express your interest in doing well. They will usually give you some tips on easy ways to do well etc.

Also, understand your priorities. What benefit will you derive by what actions. Is it homework in this class or is it a project in that class, or something else?

Ashish’s Answer

Hellos,

Simply if I said, give time to your homework till you will not satisfy on your contribution everyday.

Discipline is very important so schedule your day from morning to evening and comply that daily.

Remember, the most difficult part is to comply.


Thank you.

Alice’s Answer

Hello Alicia,

I would recommend to create a daily or weekly schedules, in which you include some breaks from studying and some time for hobbies or fun activities. Discipline is key. Make sure to still dedicate enough time for your homework and that you don't include "too many" breaks :) . Making breaks and allowing yourself time to clear your mind should help you to get back to your homework with a rested brain, which should ultimately help you to study better.

The most important thing is to commit to your schedule and stick to it.

Good luck.

Alice recommends the following next steps:
